Answer:

Explanation:

Your B-L Acid is a proton (Hydrogen, H+) donor, and your B-L base is a proton acceptor. This means that the base will take a hydrogen from your acid. NO2- is a B-L base, and you can tell it is a base by the negative charge it possesses. This means that it has a lone pair that wants to grab one of the hydrogens from NH4+, the B-L acid. In scientific words, the NO2- is a nucleophile and NH4+ is an electrophile. The result of NO2- grabbing that hydrogen from NH4+ is that NO2- becomes HNO2 (your conjugate acid) and and NH4+ becomes NH3 (you conjugate base). Basically, any time a B-L acid loses a proton, its equal product will be its conjugate base, and any time a B-L base gains a proton, its equal product will be its conjugate acid.

I hope this helped explain the concept behind Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases! Good luck with your class and please don't forget to give a positive rating! :-)

Given the equation I = Q/t, solve for t.

larisa86 [58]

Answer: $t=\frac{Q}{I}$

Explanation:

$I=\frac{Q}{t}$

Multiply by t on both sides.

$t*I=\frac{Q}{t}*t$

$tI=Q$

Now divide by I to isolate t.

$\frac{tI}{I}=\frac{Q}{I}$

$t=\frac{Q}{I}$

What type of bonds exist in a molecule of water? Polar covalent bonds ionic bonds hydrogen bonds van der waals non polar covalen

Aleksandr [31]

Polar covalent bonds (because hydrogen and oxygen form polar bonds and are both nonmetals so it's covalent) and hydrogen bonds (because the water molecules are attracted to each other with partial charges, causing specific properties like surface tension).

So in my very bad drawing that I attached in case you're more a visual learner, the d- and d+ show the partial charges of hydrogen and oxygen (making it polar, as the electrons in the bond are more shifted towards oxygen, which is why oxygen has a negative sign) and the yellow dotted line show the hydrogen bonds.

A weather map indicates that a low-pressure system is approaching a city. Attached to

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A warm front is approaching the city and temperatures will increase

Explanation:

A low pressure forms by the movement of air away from a particular spot such that the pressure reduces. The movement of air away from a spot occurs when there is a boundary of warm and cold air such that the air moves to maintain a uniform temperature.

Low pressure centers are associated with warm fronts, resulting in the fall of barometric pressure or observed low pressure and are characterized by a rise in temperature.

How does the appear from earth

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Formation. When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun. Like its fellow terrestrial planets, Earth has a central core, a rocky mantle and a solid crust.
